Tin Roof RV

Does anyone have any info on maintenance of a metal roof that are on the older rv's ?
I had my 95 mallard for a couple of years now and haven't touched anything, just looking for links or knowledge thanks

X2. They just need re-caulking every couple years.

Agree.
If the caulking is in really poor shape, then I'd spend some time & clean it all off.
Did it on our old trailer a few years back.... the heat gun & putty knife worked real well... a little too well around the plastic vents . I'd recommend taking them off when you are working with the heat round them.
